Utility Pants, with pocket flap

Here's another pair of utilities for a Slowboat Deadstock customer. 

Cone Mills selvedge denim, hand-felled seams, hand-set copper rivets, selvedge belt loops, asymmetrically aged copper tack buttons (done in-house), and a drill cloth waistband.





Old Florida

I was talking with the really nice and really quite inspiring folks behind Old North the other day, and thought they might appreciate another old Florida post.  The clothes are a little hard to make out, but I think you get some idea.

Birthday Shirt

I was thinking I was going to try skiing and/or snowboarding for my birthday this year, but the price of the lift ticket and rental gear was a bit pricey.  So, I made myself a shirt.  A deluxe workshirt from some very nice Japanese chambray with vintage 1930's-1940's enameled metal buttons.  I'm pretty happy with the fit.  Next year though, I'm hitting the slopes.

Weekend Project

I took a rare break from work this weekend and only did a small amount of sewing.  So this weekend's project was to make some bitters for use in cocktails and/or digestive tonics. 

If all goes well I'll have orange bitters, celery bitters, and cardamom bitters in about two weeks.

A-1 Jeans, v.4, Cone Mills Denim

I made these for myself, but they turned out a little too small.  They're up for sale on etsy.
